Music is important at Zion! On any given Sunday you may hear a praise band, acapella singing, a choir and organ music. Whether bells, guitar, children’s choir or instruments, the goal of all our music is to glorify and praise God together.
If you enjoy making music with others, consider singing with the choir or a praise team. New members are always welcome!
Choirs
Adult Choir
The choir sings at the 9:00 a.m. service approximately twice a month from September – May, as well as on Christmas Eve, Thanksgiving Eve, and Maundy Thursday. Traditional choral music or surprises might show up in the choir’s repertoire. The choir practices weekly on Wednesday evenings September – May.
Children’s Choir
All children ages 3 to 5th grade participate in this choir. Weekly practices are held immediately after the 9:00 a.m. worship service (from 10:00 to 10:15 a.m.). The children meet in the music room (134) and sing traditional and praise children’s songs. Children attending Children’s Church (age 3- 1st Grade) are escorted from Children’s Church to singing, and then to their appropriate Sunday school class. This choir usually sings once a month during the months of October through June.
Bell Choir
Bell Choir plays at Christmas, Easter and occasionally at other services. If you can read music and have a good sense of rhythm this fun group might be for you. Bells rehearse on Wednesday evenings before choir, as needed, October – May.
Special Programs
All of Zion’s choirs share their musical ministry with the community through special programs, church exchange events, and concerts. Zion continues to present exceptional musical programs to the community through its own choirs and talent along with guest singers and instrumentalists.
Organ
Zion’s Fisk Tracker Organ was specially designed for our space. Organ builder Charles Fisk worked in collaboration with architect Edward A. Sovik to match organ and setting. The organ faces the central cross, reminding us that it is Christ whom we worship. We love our organ for its spare modern beauty and the many ways it can lead us to lift our voices in praise!
